Are you ready to turn your romantic fortune around at last? Dr. Debbie has discovered eight behavior patterns that are typical of dissatisfied singles and will teach you how to recognize your romantic style, understand why you make certain relationship choices, and take powerful steps toward creating the lasting love you deserve.

The Whirlwind Dater, constantly dates but never finds a fulfilling, permanent relationship
The Standstill, rarely dates and has a difficult time relating to men on an intimate level
The Forbidden Fruit Hunter, gets involved with emotionally unavailable men who may be married or already have a girlfriend
The Compassionate Rescuer, always dates the guy who has problems, putting her energy into “fixer-upper” boyfriends
The Wanderer, just one man is not enough to fill the void, so she always has a lover or potential boyfriend on the side
The Uptown Girl, only attracted to men with money, prestige, and looks
The Runaway Bride, good at relationships until asked to commit – then finds a way to end the relationship, pronto

THIS BOOK WORKS!
I was skeptical at first upon seeing this book but then I ordered it, read it and I have to say, it really does make sense! I read it over the weekend and have been thinking about it ever since. I found my category and Dr. Magids is right. You are the one constant in all your relationships (family, friends, boyfriends, etc.) so if things always seems to not work out, then it kind of forces you to look at yourself directly...and this book really helps you do just that. The book helped me to see and understand things much better. I think I can now really act on correcting behavoir that wasn't helping me in my relationships. I now feel good about my future relationships instead of being miserable and feeling like I'll never find anyone. Thanks for writing this book -- I'll help spread the word!
Oh, the joy of dating.
When I picked up this book, I was feeling like dating was a never-ending road. But this book gave me some helpful insight. I really appreciate Magids's psychological analysis on dating and her explanation of why people just can't seem to find a permanent, loving relationship. I especially liked the section on how to find the roots of dating failures and eradicate them so you can ultimately find true love.
I was really drawn to the discussion on how daters find themselves at a "dead-end" due to a lack of confidence. Although she mentioned several things you can do to boost your confidence level, I can tell you what works for me. If you enhance your knowledge and feed your mind, you can become that confident, interesting person. Services like Agogus.com are great - it's quick, easy and has really interesting topics. My road to a long-lasting relationship seems a little shorter now - just watch out for those dips!
Eh, so-so
Not a bad book. She lists various types of personalities in dating/relationships and then gives advice appropriate to changing your habits if need be.
I cannot really recommend it but I have a friend who loved it. She saw herself among the types and could relate.
